12 7 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 4, 1898. FIFTEEN FOOLITARDY GOLDSEEKERS Left Boston in the Stowell Sherman WITHOUT = A NAVIGATOR CARED FOR BY THE CONSUL AT MONTEVIDEO. When Picked Up by the Pennsyl- vania They Were Without Money and the Schooner was Unseaworthy. Of all the foolhardy expeditions ever got | together to hunt for gold, that which st November on the schoon- | owell Sherman from Boston for the like was the worst. The vessel was without a competent navigator, was | manned by school boys and clerks, and | while the Stowell Sherman was well pro- | was very little ready | The end of it all was | that the schooner was abandoned at Montevideo and nine of the gold hunters | were sent on here on the steamer Pennsyl- | vania by the United States Consul. When the Klondike craze was at its | height a party of young men got together in the Hub City and decided to purchase | a schooner, provision her and start for the | new El Dorado. There were fifteen of them, and Martin F. Culbert was chosen captain and Thomas Roose chief officer, while Charles Cousins was installed as navigating officer. A start was made last November, and for six months the schooner was buffeted by every wind that blew and her bowsprit was pointed to every point of the compass In a vain search for land. Storms were encountered and the amateur sailors had a terrible time of it. Finally, when worn out and disgusted the coasti of Brazil was reached and the vessel made Para.

Overdue and reinsurance paild by the underwriters and loss of a charter through: failuré to reach port in time is the hard luck story of Captain Evans of the British ship Penrhyn Castle. The vessel ‘left Newcastle, N. §. W., over four months ago with a cargd of coal for San Franels After discharging here she . was chartered to proceed to Portland to I t for Europe. The charter party on the Ist inst., and the vessel onl The Astoria yesterday. reached here on o long to come 10 per cent reinsur- r. That left a fort- scharge the cargo and Columbia river.

The Pei 3 = reached her destination two days too late and nothing as yet has been heard from the Wizard. When the big raft that was coming down in tow of the tugs Monarch and Rescue was seen off Crescent City by the steamer Umatilla only one tug had hold of it. It was thought that the other one had gone into Crescent City for coal, but it may now turn out that she sighted the disabled ‘Wizard and went to her assistance. Becond Mate McCarthy of the ship Ta- coma, who tried to kill Officer Dillon of the Harbor Police and got shot in the -Jegs for his pains, was taken to the Cen- tral police station yesterday. Some time ago McCarthy was arrested on almost a similar charge by Officer George Lake. He went into his room in the Brooklyn Hotel on East street and began firing off his revolver. He shot through the door, the walls, celling and floor and drove ev- erybody In the house out on the sidewalk. When "arralgred in court he told the Judge he though he was fighting the Spaniards and his honor let him go. . Early yvesterday morning he got another “fichting fag” on, and he proceeded to perforate the front of the Brooklyn Hotel, thig fime because the landlord would not glve him any more liquor, Officers Dillan nd McGrath were soon on the scene and reply to Dillon’s ordar to give up his | ranged four races—junior and senior out- COLORS FOR THE POLICE \"‘ al ; "“‘fl‘// ern Station.

All day long the crowds that anxiously watched the bulletin boards for news from Santiago saw nothing reassuring in the reserved dispatches that the Navy and War Departments gave out. What little was heard from Shaf- ter and Sampson sank deep in the hearts of the public, for the news was portentous and full of omen for the gallant army at the front. Every indi- cation was for a somber Fourth, and the very atmosphere became heavy with dread forebodings. At about 8:30 in the evening The Call bulletined a dispatch which told such another story as that of May 1, when the anouncement of Dewey's victory swept the chain of nations from one end of the world to another and gave birth to a universal wonderment. = ‘When the destruction of Cervera's fleet was made known to the neople gathered around The Call's bulletin a great shout went up. Grave fears gave way to ecstatic emotion. From the bulletin boards, like an electric current that knows no period of time in its transmission from one point to another, the news spread through the masses on Market street, which soon became a surging sea of emotional humanity. Sampson was the name:on every tongue. Glory was for the victor and base derision for the people who, in their arrogant and presumptuous pride, scorned the arms of Amer- ica. The old men on the street recalled how thirty-flve years ago, on July 8, the great battle of Gettysburg was fought, and how this ray of light burst upon a fleld that was altogether dark and full of despair. The young men with thoughts only of the present and the future, wondered what next could be added to grace the American banners in this present struggle with effete Spain. Good news was close upon the heels of good news last night. Hardly had a nervous composure settled on the crowds In the street when another bulletin was flashed out telling of the arrival of the First California at Manila. With renewed vigor the blasts of patriotic ardor swept over all. There were cheers for the men fighting in torrid Cuba, and cheers for the untried and embryonic heroes in an antipodal land. 0000000000000000000000000000000000 0O0CO000000000000000OCOOTO00CCOC000C000000000 0 O0OCOOCOO000000000CC00000CO0000000000000000 o | war, which, T am sure, no on loves.

Was Disabled for the Half-Mile Con- test, but Expects to Do More Time-Smashing To-Day. The Results. | The admirers of aquatic sports who did | not attend the swimming contests at the Lurline Baths yesterday afternoon missed | the best battles in this line that have' | been witnessed in this city for a long time. The Lurline Swimming Club car- ried off nearly all the honors and they declare that they would have taken all if | it had not been for the disability of their | best man, Brewer. | One of the unexpected results of the | games was the smashing of the American | record in the 440-yard race by H. F. Brewer of the Lurlines, who covered the distance in 6:10 minutes, as against his former pace of 6:23 3-5. Brewer took his record with a magnificent burst of speed that was well maintained throughout the distance. His showing puts him well on the way to take the world's record. E. B. Stolle was second; time, 6:32 1-5. In the 50-yard maiden H. H. Wiedeman of the Lurlines won in 29% secs., being within a quarter second of the American record held by Dan Renear of Chicago. G. A. Hinkel of the Lurlines was second. The T75-yard maiden was taken by Wiedeman in 42 secs. flat, G. A. Hinkel second, The half mile contest was not satisfac- tory by reason of the fact that Brewer was unable to take part after his violent exertions in the other races, and while he was resting he was examined by his physician and advised not to enter, as any further competition at that time might lead to serious heart troubles. The result of the race was a victory for the Dolphin Swimming and Boating Club, E. B. Stolle taking first in 13:53, as against 14:17, his old record. J. E. Odgers of the Lurlines was a bad second. A polo game which followed the races was won by Captain Pomins’ team, and there was an exhibition of high diving by Professor Cobleyn, who dove from a height of 99 feet. ' Some fast and fancy swimming was done by Professor Goetze and R. Cardell, the mascot of the Lurline Club, did some clever clown diving. This afternoon there will be another race meet. The events will include 100 yards, 220 yards and one mile. Brewer will contest and try to make some new recoras. __These races are proving highly interest- ing and by reason of the brilllant work of yesterday will attract the attention of that numerous class throughout the world who take an Interest in such amateur contests. e Luline orchestra furnished acceptable sic during the games. PATRIOTIC SPIRITUALISTS. Mrs. Lillie Delivers an Interesting Address on the War. The regular weekly meeting of the So- ciety of Progressive Spiritualists was held last night at 306 Larkin street. After an entertaining programme had been ren- dered Mrs. Lillie delivered an interesting address on the present war., “We are fighting for only one cause,” she declared, “and that is liberty. When Spain sought to persecute and murder the helpless Cubans President McKinley and the people of the United States arose in their wrath and declared that it should stop. War between the two nations re- sulted, and although hundreds of our gal- lant boys have fallen in the heat of battle the stars and stripes will shortly wave over the Spanish possessions. While our hearts trembled and tears coursed down our faces as we looked upon the brave soldiers who left this city to defend the flag of our nation, yet we all felt glad that they were bent on a merciful mis- sion of delivering the unfortunate Cubans from the tyranny and abuse of the Spanish.” Mrs. Lillle was warmly congratulated at the conclusion of her patriotic address. —_———— THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS.

A DESPERATE WOMAN TAKES MIXED POISON Only Nineteen, but Tired of Life. Is DRUG NOT DEADLY ENOUGH A STRIEKING CASE OF MAN’S BASE INHUMANITY, Still in Her Teens, but Has Been Married, Divorced and Is Now Friendless—Mrs. Alvis’ Story. Dolly Alvis, a pretty girl, 19 years of age, felt yesterday that she was tired of life and swallowed a potion consisting of aconite and iodine. It was not strong enough to end her earthly career, and she was soon pronounced out of danger by the attaches at the Receiving Hospital. Her maiden name was Baldwin, her father being Willlam Baldwin, a well- known diver in Seattle. She was married when she was 15 years of age, her hus- band being manager of a machinery firm in Seattle. A baby girl was born to them and it seemed as if their cup of happiness was full. But the tempter came in the shape of Lieutenant John Van Wykoff of the Fire Brigade, and the husband, about a year ago, secured a divorce from his wife. According to 's. Alvis, the lieutenant promised to marry her, but he failed to keep his promise, and as her friends looked upon her with coldness, she deter- mined to leave Seattle and fight the bat- tle of life for herself. She came here about seven weeks ago and tried hard to procure a situation as cook in a restaurant or any other thing that might turn up, but unsuccess- ful. She had been living with a family named Desmond on Fifteenth street, but a week ago quarreled with the head of the household and was turned out. She went to live with Richard Currie, a col- ored hackman, and his wife, at 113 Aus- tin street, and yesterday afternoon in a fit of despondency she swallowed the pol- son, after bidding Currie and his wife good-by. Her grandmother, uncle and aunt live in Stockton. Her uncle is a prominent physician there, but she will not ask him for help as he refused to assist her at the time she was divorced from her hus- band. She also claims that through her father she is a distant relative of ‘‘Lucky" Baldwin. BREEDERS’ MEETING AT OAKLAND TO-DAY GREAT CROWD EXPECTED TO EE IN ATTENDANCE. An Exceptionally Good Card Offered, ‘With the Innovation of a Free Field—Some Interesting Track Notes. The card at Oakland to-day is an ex- ceptionally good one, and with the inno- vation of a free fleld should attract the banner crowd of the meeting. The pro- gramme for the extra twelve days will be published this week, and if it fills, as it certainly should do, the extra two weeks beginning Monday will surely be given. The horsemen, therefore, have the matter entirely in their own hands. The big chestnut pacer Bernard stepped a mile in 2:15% Saturday morning and was then sent a fifth-quarter in :32%, a 2:11 clip. Billy Donathan says he can step Resort a quarter in :30, but when it comes to racing it is a different proposition getting him away level. Thompson has tried “the governor” on Little Thorn, and he goes away steadily enough now to get the money even if the heats be 2:08 or 2:09. Sky Pointer makes his debut Friday. He is a full brother to the pioneer two minute horse, Star Pointer, 1:59%. “Julian” Bill has quite won the hearts of all horsemen by the way he has pre- pared the Oakland track for the trotters, and it would be hard to find better foot- ing than he has furnished. Many have noticed the strong resem- blance Little Thorn bears to the grand little ex-champion Robert J, 2:01%. ‘Walter Mabeau’s injured wrist is doing well, but it will be some weeks before he again gets into a sulky. Little Osita, by McKinney, is stepping great guns and can reel off a mile in 2:15 “so easy” that he looks to have a grand prospect in his class, barring acci- dents. Delphi, by Director, very closely re- sembles his noted sire, the hero of the grand circuit of '83. There are more hobbled pacers at the track than one ever saw at a meeting be- fore. Next season the powers that be say they shall be barred entirely—that is, the National Association does, but the Amer- ican will continue to allow their usage. Monterey, 2:13%, does not look up to race estate, yet good judges are busy pre- dicting 2:11 or 2:12 for him. The “guess club” have Agitato down for a 2:05 mark should Maben get right to “sight’’ him before the season’s end. He is working right well at present. A. Hayward's grand stallion Stambou- lette now has a record of 2:12%, and will doubtless cut a figure in the $10,000 stake at Charter Oak, Hartford, later on. He could step the San Mateo farm track very fast before Van Bokkelen took him East. Klamath, the veteran trotter, is better this season than ever. At Denver he stepped to e three-quarters in 1:33%—a 2:05 clip. His owner offers to match him against any trotter in the land. The dam of Alix, 2:03%, has been bred to Sable Wilkes, 2:18, the one time three- year-old champion. It should be good property, a colt from such parents. John Goldsmith at one time owned Fitz Aymou'’s sire, Waldstein. The late reins- man was a grand judge of uorseflesh. Williams always gives Monterey an easy mile to cart before his races. Few trot- ters stride as far as does the son of Sid- ney. After Roderick’s sulky broke down driv- ers thought it advisable to put a kicking strap on in big fields. Then, if a wheel buckles, the vehicle is kept off the horse's heels. It is an idea of Billy Ewing, who formerly raced Dandy Jim, 2:09%. 1 Direct could probably pace to a record of 2:12 or thereabouts if he would go steadily. There are a number of Dexter Princes on the grounds and before the close of the meeting they may ma..: their presence felt. e’l’he following are the entries for to- day’s races: ENTRIES FOR TO-DAY.
